Hi Simon, a .wab file is a "Windows Address Book" file and you are right you
used to be able to view the address book with an application in Win98. You
can however import the .wab file into outlook express using the normal "File
/ Import" routine in outlook express.
Once you have it in outlook express you will be able to import this into
Outlook using the "File / Import" routine again but in Outlook this time.
Hope this makes sense but if not drop me an e-mail and I will send you some
instructions.
Kindest regards
Tom
